• Soviet Cultural Suppression: Zhdanov's Campaign Against Intellectuals In a significant moment of Soviet cultural control, politician Andrei Zhdanov launched a systematic campaign targeting writers and artists perceived as ideologically non-compliant. On August 14, 1946, the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party issued a resolution targeting the literary magazines *Zvezda* and *Leningrad*, specifically condemning the works of prominent authors Mikhail Zoshchenko and poet Anna Akhmatova. The resolution marked a severe crackdown on artistic expression, resulting in the immediate replacement of magazine editors and a publishing ban for the targeted writers. This event exemplified the Soviet regime's stringent approach to controlling cultural narrative and suppressing intellectual dissent.
